Pace

The university specifies the pace at which a student must progress through his or her educational program to ensure that all students will complete the program within the maximum time frame. Neumont calculates the pace at which the student is progressing by dividing the cumulative number of credit hours the student has successfully completed by the cumulative number of credit hours the student has attempted. A student must complete all of the requirements for graduation without exceeding 150% of the required quarter credit hours for the program in which they are enrolled; this limitation is known as maximum time frame.

Undergraduate students may attempt a maximum of 270 credits (150% of 180 credits). Graduate students may attempt a maximum of 81 credits (150% of 54 credits). (For illustrative purposes: If a student had attempted 84 credits and earned 76 credits, their pace would equal 90.4%.) Thus, in addition to the cGPA requirements, a student must successfully complete a certain percentage of the credits attempted. The pace (or rate of progress) requirements per quarter are noted in the undergraduate and graduate SAP tables.
